Wero Electric - San Marcos's Experienced Electricians

This is a common sign of an overloaded panel, especially in older San Marcos homes. Your AC unit draws significant power, and if your panel or circuit isn't rated for that load, it will trip to prevent overheating and fire. We can perform an electrical inspection, assess your panel's capacity, and recommend a repair or upgrade—such as a dedicated circuit or panel replacement—to handle the demand safely and prevent future outages.

Absolutely. Local storms can cause damaging surges through utility lines. As part of a comprehensive electrical safety plan, we recommend and install whole-house surge protectors at your main service panel. This device acts as a first line of defense, diverting excess voltage away from your entire home's wiring and sensitive electronics, complementing any point-of-use surge protectors you may already have.

Yes, most electrical panel replacements or major upgrades in the San Marcos area require a permit and inspection by the local building department to ensure the work meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) and safety standards. As licensed electricians, we handle the entire permitting process for you—from pulling the permit to scheduling the final inspection—so the upgrade is documented and certified for your safety and home value.
